Volume 1 New Visitors to the Western Wilderness Chapter 158 The Past and Present Life of the Sentinel Territory

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Human beings are still the nominal controllers of the Western Wilderness. Unfortunately, this nominal controller now only has nominal control.  As the highest officer of the entire Sentinel Ridge, Grian Stallman, of course has a very clear understanding of the current bad situation.  It's one thing to have a clear understanding, but it's another thing to be able to take corresponding effective measures.  "Unfortunately, the lord who holds Yuexi Town and the surrounding land is an out-and-out second-generation ancestor. In addition to finding ways to eat, drink, and have fun, he usually doesn't do anything.  Other things were never considered.  After Moon Creek Town was voluntarily abandoned, the lord packed up all the gold and silver belongings he could take away as quickly as possible, and then moved his family to Stormwind City to continue enjoying life.  According to some fragmentary information brought by traveling merchants, a certain lord even gave up the ownership of Yuexi Town in order to shirk the responsibility for his inability to defend the territory.  The nominal top leaders have abandoned their territory and run away in a very chic way.  With such a living example in front of us, the remaining capable people will naturally follow suit, and all those who can run will run slowly.  ??In other words, after such a large-scale collective transfer event, the only human beings who remained in the Western Wilderness were the native freedmen and the yeoman farmers, who were some people who truly loved this land.  Well, after most of the irresponsible upper-class people have left this messy place of right and wrong, the western wilderness has now become a lordless land without a lord.  Logically speaking, this should be a good thing. Mature lands lacking lords are always inviting to snoops.  If someone wants to regain control of this land, they naturally need to invest energy and resources in this land again.  At least if we don't get rid of the inexplicable overflow of jackals, it's impossible for those excellent farms, forest farms, and mines to produce resources again, right?  However, something strange happened that puzzled Grian Stallman and even the knowledgeable people who still stayed in the Westfall.  The entire Westfall seems to have been forgotten by the nobles in Stormwind City.  No one showed even the slightest interest in this place, as if they had collectively forgotten this piece of land that they had fought over.  In addition to this, there is something even stranger. Grian used his connections to send several letters to Storm's military requesting reinforcements.  In the letter, he made it clear that it didn't matter even if he only sent some new soldiers, and he would also provide extra pay as a reward for these reinforcements.  However, what no one expected was this.  These letters asking for help are like stones thrown into the sea. Apart from making a small wave and receiving a few dry replies, there is no response.  Grian Stroman¡¯s original idea was very simple. He would try to maintain the situation before reinforcements from Stormwind City arrived.  After all, there is no big man who can speak in the western wilderness now.  In the current chaotic situation, if there is no one who understands to stand in front and coordinate the overall situation, it will really cause bad things.  After the reinforcements from Stormwind City arrived, Gerian felt that he could put down this burden and deal with some personal matters with peace of mind.  ¡°It¡¯s a pity that what happened next was not at all what Grian imagined.  The much-needed support had not arrived for a long time, and Grian had no choice but to continue to shoulder these matters on his own shoulders. ? ? It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes, Grian Stallman is a paladin.  This status makes his words carry more or less weight.  In addition, all the original upper-class people in the Western Wilderness left this place with the second-generation lord.  The few remaining sensible people had no intention of competing with him for power and gain.  In this case, Grian's prestige has accumulated day by day as time goes by.  With prestige in his possession, Grian becomes more and more comfortable in doing things.  And God knows whether it is the holy light that protects his believers invisibly, or something else that plays a role in a subtle way.  This afternoon, Grian received a report from the lookout that the Jackals who had been semi-surrounding the entire Sentinel Ridge suddenly retreated on their own initiative.  When Grian received the report, his first reaction was that this was simply unbelievable good news.  The second reaction was to immediately send someone to confirm the authenticity of the news.  So, just to be on the safe side.  As one of the most powerful people in Sentinel Ridge, Grian personally led half of the cavalry team to carefully scout around the outside.  In the end, the armed reconnaissance team, led by Grian Stroman himself, returned to Sentinel Ridge safely at the tail end of the sunset.    Half an afternoon of personal reconnaissance allowed Gian Stallman to confirm one thing.  That is, those damn long-haired beasts did retreat, and they left in a hurry.  The accommodation camp was hastily cleaned up, and only some of the most critical food and weapons were taken away.  When encountering the reconnaissance team he led, their behavior was completely different from before.  You know, just before today, the reaction of jackals to seeing humans was basically the same as the reaction to seeing fresh meat.  Other than squealing and swarming, there was basically no other reaction. ??????? But today it¡¯s completely different.  Those guys took the initiative to leave some people behind to take charge of the rear, while the rest continued to move forward.  In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Grian only led his men in a wave of assaults and then voluntarily withdrew.  After figuring out the truth, Grian Stallman, who led the team back to the Sentinel Territory, announced the good news in a very excited tone in front of everyone who dared to come after hearing the news.  For those ordinary people, the news that the Jackals had withdrawn from the siege made them feel that this lifeless day had finally seen a glimmer of light.  As for why those jackals did what they did, it actually doesn't matter.  And those who have more knowledge and understanding think more.  These jackals will not withdraw the encirclement for no reason. Something must have happened that made these guys have to do this.  Well, no matter how you say it, no matter what the reason is that caused this to happen, this is indeed a good thing.  Many people have decided to prepare something delicious tonight to celebrate this rare good news.  As for what to do in the next days?  Let¡¯s talk about it after dinner. Life has to go on no matter what, right?  ¡°That¡¯s all a person with a little knowledge can think of, but higher-level figures such as Glian Stallman and his partners can think of a lot more.
